I watched Night at the Museum. I didn’t watch it for any specific reason, I was scrolling through Disney+ trying to find a movie to potentially watch and when we scrolled to Night at the Museum nostalgia overtook us. The movie was just as good as I remembered surprisingly because most of those movies are almost never as good as you think they are. The first thing that I felt was a hit of nostalgia was from the score. Alan Silvestri did well on this score because it felt like I just listened to the score just the other day.
It was also nice to see some actors that I knew like Ben Stiller (Larry), Dick Van Dyke (Cecil), Owen Wilson (Jedediah), and Robin Williams (Roosevelt) were all nice faces to see. There were also some surprises that I did not expect at all. I had no idea that Paul Rudd was in this movie. He only has a small part, but it's so weird seeing him in a small role like this with how popular he is now. I also forgot that Rami Malek was in this until his name showed up on screen and I realized he was the Pharaoh in the movie. Now my thoughts on the movie. I already mentioned the score, but I think it deserves a second mention because I legitimately think that it is that good. The score captures the absurdity of the museum coming to life so well as well as having a fantasy tone along with it. Another very positive thing to mention is the special effects are superb for 2006. The T-Rex is very well done and didn’t look fake at all from what I saw. The tiny people in the replicas were also done very well because it looked like the large actors were actually interacting with tiny people and not just looking at nothing. Also I think when a wax character goes from alive to wax the change is done seamlessly and is almost unsettling how well its done. The story might not be all that great, but I think that this movie is very fun and the effects and cast hold the movie together very well. 7 out of 10.
